How To Change The Background Image of Login Screen in Centos/RHEL

 

     Hi, 

           Are you not bored with the same old background pic of your centos/rhel, lets put some
      refreshing and beautiful picture of our own choice, We have done this stuff in windows and         played much by changing the backgroud image of login panel 

      lets try out in Linux

      We have tried on Centos 6 and will work well on rhel 7 as well 


       Steps:
              1. Select a picture of your choice, and paste in the /usr/share/background

              2. Update the default.xml with new picture name 

        Just 2 Easy Step 😊

   

         1. Select a picture of your choice, and paste in the /usr/share/backgrounds

       This is the old boring background image which comes by default, lets select picture 

      This looks beautiful isn't it lets put it into the background folder which is                                       /usr/share/background

    As you can see i have  the image on my centos desktop, you can drag and drop from desktop       to the background folder but i prefer command line..

    

    

    You can check if it has been copied by doing ls to that directory,

Step 2:Update the default.xml with new picture name 

      this file is in the same directory where you just pasted the image so just open the file using 

vi default.xml

    And change the old image name with the  new name 

     

    yaah just save it esc >> shift+zz 

    finally you are done 

      

   And then,

    

    

  HAVE FUN AND KEEP USING LINUX !!!

  And please feel free to post any question, suggestions are mostly welcomed

    Thank you  !!!
